The rain finally stops allowing the Sun
around 10am. Lars takes
advantage of the lull to go up the mast
and reposition the navigation light
which had come loose and turned on it’s mount.
Shortly thereafter it started raining and has varied
between tropical downpour and drizzle most of the day.
Thomas was summoned to “Grey Pearl”; Yves has dropped his
Fins overboard and wants to go diving
for them. A preliminary dive shows nil visibility at
15metres so no much hope of finding anything in the
extensive search area of the boats swing on the anchor.
He comes back to bottom scraping duties whilst Lars and I
rig up another awning to try and keep the rain
from blowing into the cockpit where we are sitting
reading.
It’s pretty depressing Lars is off the beer altogether, I
put my second on back in the fridge and Thomas
oblivious to the wet even after taking of his diving gear
has taken to Gin
The forecast says it will be worse tomorrow. I think I’ll
have that beer now.
